Howto remove compiled openssl1.1.1-dev from debian ?

[tvequaud]

I had to compile openssl from sources on a Debian Stretch. But now I want to go back to official package openssl from Debian. I tried to remove with apt, dpk, remove everything with locate + rm commands... Still have this f**** reference to openssl 1.1.1-dev

root@sd-101643:~# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0f  25 May 2017 (Library: OpenSSL 1.1.1-dev  xx XXX xxxx)

How to remove this ?????

apt and dpkg wouldn't know about 1.1.1-dev unless you have a Debian package for it.

How exactly did you install 1.1.1-dev? If you configured with --prefix=/usr, you probably need to reinstall the official Debian packages for the shared libraries (libssl1.1 and possibly libssl.dev). Otherwise, go look for libcrypto.so.1.1 in non-default locations (such as /usr/local/lib), rename them and see if that helps.

Assuming the openssl binary on your PATH is the one in /usr/bin/openssl (use which openssl to confirm), what does ldd /usr/bin/openssl tell you?

@mattcaswell : here it is !

ldd /usr/bin/openssl
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff27dcd000)
	libssl.so.1.1 => not found
	libcrypto.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 (0x00007f6000587000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f6000383000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f6000166000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f5fffdc7000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6000cbb000)

Seems second line is broken ! Do you know how to update this path, please ?

[tvequaud]

I fixed it by running apt-get install --reinstall libssl-1.1
Maybe there is a better option ?
Thank you very much @mattcaswell you helped me a lot !

[mattcaswell]

So, having fixed libssl-1.1, is openssl version now reporting the correct response?

[tvequaud]

Yep, only "OpenSSL 1.1.0f 25 May 2017" and now everything works like a charm : I can curl URL in HTTPS !

[mattcaswell]

Great. Closing this.
